Oxford Nexus Leather Motorcycle Gloves Black / White

The Oxford Nexus Leather Motorcycle Gloves in Black / White are full-gauntlet sports gloves developed for road riders who want high protection without losing comfort or control. This listing is for the Black / White colourway.

Who are these gloves for?

The Nexus is Oxford's top-of-the-range road sports glove. It suits riders looking for a close, pre-curved fit, substantial knuckle, finger, palm and cuff protection, and the convenience of touchscreen-compatible fingertips. Perforated finger fourchettes and a sweat-wicking lining make it particularly suitable for spirited road riding in milder and warmer conditions.

Protection and key benefits

• Level 2 KP certification: certified to EN 13594:2015 at CE Level 2 KP.
• Leather and Aramid construction: an Aramid-reinforced leather palm helps resist abrasion, supported by ergonomically positioned palm, thumb and finger overlays.
• Sports TPU protection: TPU knuckle, finger and palm protectors add impact protection and abrasion resistance.
• Gauntlet coverage: a long cuff with TPR protection and PE foam padded panels at the cuff and thumb extends protection beyond the hand.
• Secure adjustment: twin wrist and cuff straps plus an elasticated wrist help keep the glove correctly positioned.
• Rider comfort: pre-curved fingers reduce hand fatigue, while external finger seams reduce pressure inside the glove.
• Touchscreen use: the forefinger and thumb are touchscreen compatible.

Product questions

What does Level 2 KP mean?

It confirms that the gloves meet the Level 2 performance requirements of EN 13594:2015 and include tested knuckle protection.

Are the Oxford Nexus gloves waterproof?

Oxford does not list a waterproof membrane for this model. The perforated finger panels prioritise ventilation, so these should not be treated as waterproof gloves.

Can they operate a phone or sat-nav?

Yes. Oxford specifies touchscreen compatibility at the forefinger and thumb, although response can vary between devices and screen protectors.

Are they designed for road or track riding?

Oxford describes the Nexus as a sports glove for road riders. Its protection is track-inspired, but the product is positioned for road use.

Moto Central fitting guidance

Sports gloves should fit closely because leather eases slightly with use, but your fingertips should not press hard against the ends and the armour should sit naturally over your knuckles. Moto Central can help compare sizes and check grip comfort on motorcycle controls.
